Addressing design margins through error-tolerant circuits

Published:26 July 2009Publication History

ABSTRACT

We review adaptive design techniques with particular emphasis on error-tolerant techniques. We compare and contrast traditional adaptive approaches with error-tolerant techniques and analyze the margins eliminated by each of them. We discuss the applications of the latter to on-chip communication and signal-processing. Finally, we focus on a specific example of an error-tolerant technique for general-purpose computing called Razor.
